Leaf Life Show #14 - The Cannabition Museum - Portland - a podcast by Mike Ricker and Wes Abney

Leaf Life show #14 ventures to the world’s first museum for Cannabis in Las Vegas where founder JJ Walker has taken an education project and turned it into an immersive artistic experience. This rare spectacle of all things cannabis is designed as an interactive tour that takes visitors through the journey of an actual plant in an educational and visually stunning layout. Giant art displays and fun scenes lead around the museum which including the world’s largest bong, Bongzilla, as well as giant, huggable Cannabis buds. We joined the journey from seed to bong and then took a trip above to Walker’s penthouse, where he gave us the scoop on why he sold a chain of successful dispensaries to initiate this classic endeavor, and how he intends for it to become a Cannabis consumption venue and international destination.
